Manhunt Underway for Brutal Leeds Attacker on the Run
West Yorkshire Police have launched a fresh plea to track down Hardeep Garcha, 33, from Bradford. The violent criminal has been dodging police ever since he skipped his court hearing at Leeds Magistrates Court on July 10, 2023. Garcha is wanted over shocking attacks that left victims badly hurt.
Leeds Terror: Attacks That Shook the City
The violent spree took place on November 11, 2022, striking at two key spots in Leeds city centre: Heaton’s Court and Leeds train station. According to West Yorkshire Police, Garcha faces multiple charges:
- Section 18 GBH with intent
- Section 47 Actual Bodily Harm (ABH)
- Racially aggravated public order offence
One victim suffered a broken jaw, another was left with serious bruising after these unprovoked attacks. The community was left stunned by the violence targeting innocent passersby.
“These were violent, senseless acts against innocent people,” a police spokesperson said. “Leeds is usually a vibrant city, and this kind of violence has no place here.”
The Search for Garcha: Police Desperate for Leads
Since failing to turn up to court nearly two years ago, Garcha has managed to slip through the net. Police believe he may still be lurking in the Bradford or Sheffield areas. PC 2061 Moffat of Pudsey Police Station leads the high-stakes investigation.
“We’ve chased every lead, but we need the public’s help to close this case,” said PC Moffat. “Somebody out there knows where he is.”

Police Vow: No Rest Until Garcha is Caught
“We won’t rest until we find him,” PC Moffat vowed. “Anyone helping to hide him risks serious charges.”
